While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the clover honey and ancho chile powder in a medium bowl until smooth.

Place the sheet pan with the bacon on it on a cooling rack and immediately brush each slice with the sorghum syrup.
- For the brown sugar-pecan glaze: Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Lay the bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet, keeping space in between each slice. Divide the brown sugar evenly over the top of each slice of bacon and bake until bacon is golden brown and almost crispy, about 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the finely chopped pecans, return to the oven and continue baking until pecans are toasted and bacon is crispy, about 3 minutes longer.

Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Look for smaller turnips, about 2-3 inches in diameter, as they have a sweeter and milder flavor.
- Peel the turnips thinly: This will help the turnips cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the glaze.
- Use a good quality bacon: The bacon is a key flavor component in this dish, so use a bacon that you enjoy the flavor of.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will help to render out the fat and add a smoky flavor to the dish.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the turnips.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turnips, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will help the turnips cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Serve the turnips hot: Glazed turnips are best served hot, right out of the oven. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Glazed turnips with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The turnips are tender and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and savory. The bacon adds a smoky flavor and a crispy texture. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
